IntroductionIntroduction

The globalisation process of our societies brings with it new social

and educational challenges. We are becoming increasingly

knowledgeable about the human situations that occur in the different

corners of our world.

This phenomenon towards the global village also leads us to

experiencing and discovering new ways of living and co-existing. This

coexistence and this knowledge of others has many positive aspects

when it comes to exchanging cultural factors, but it could also provide

the setting in which conflicting situations show their hand.

Whether coexistence in the globalised space is positive or whether it

has areas that need improving, it forces us to reassess the new tools

to manage and work with this space, new tools for dealing with and

understanding human and social events.

Sport when seen as a socialising instrument becomes a powerful tool

for developing educational aspects as it has the advantage of being able

to fit into educational environments that lie beyond the formal.

Sport can be the ideal setting in which to develop coexistence and

social cohesion, as we know that it is a universal language; through

sport, we can also learn to solve conflicts peacefully, as it has the ability

to convey values.

This international Master’s meets the educational needs of new profiles

in the management of socio-educational work based on sport, taking

UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as its background.

AimsAims

• To raise awareness about the possibilities of sport as a tool for educational participation in

contexts of low social cohesion and high socio-political conflict.

• To disseminate factual, procedural, attitudinal and skills-based strategies and tools for the use of

sport in situations of social vulnerability.

• To provide the student with the necessary knowledge and tools to design and implement

projects that can be applied to different realities and aimed at different groups.

Target audience Target audience

educational pathway to have an effect on the socio-educational sphere, developing new skills in

MethodologyMethodology

The model is aimed at the collective participation and construction of

knowledge from an interdisciplinary approach open to the educational,

social and work experience of the students. It is committed to

collaborative learning through methodologies which involve problem-

solving, participating in the development of projects, the joint creation of

products, discussion and research.

The student is accompanied at all times by specialist lecturers, whose

main purpose is to guide, advise, support and encourage them

throughout their education process.

AssessmentAssessment

Assessment becomes a fully integrated strategy within the learning

process, in the sense that it is seen as a mechanism for learning and

feedback on this process. This is why assessment at the UOC is called

continuous and educational. In this sense, assessment activities promote

the achievement of learning objectives and the acquisition of skills. This

way, the student is assessed while carrying out their activity and acquiring

their skills.

At the end of each postgraduate course, a final Master’s project will be

completed that will help consolidate the learning acquired, using an

aspect applied to a real context. Similarly, at the end of the Master’s,

students carry out a research project
